For Our Happier Path

Hisaki attentively decorated the living room with balloons and colorful papers that spelled 'Happy 25th Birthday, Heisuke'. The color white, light blue and light yellow balloons added festivity to the small room.

Two low tables were put together to allow more space for the food.

Aside from the cake that Hisaki now put in the middle of the table, more food was served for the celebration. The delicious scent that came from the dishes lured all of them to eat.

"Here! The birthday boy should sit here!"

Shuuya pushed Heisuke toward the middle of the table. The latter's face was smiling despite feeling a bit shy. It was all because he had never been honored in this way during his birthday.

This was something Heisuke often dreamed of when he was a child. Over time, he let go of the wish, thinking that he was too old now for this kind of thing. Never did he foresee that Hisaki would throw a good birthday party for him.
